The Community Health Advisory Council (CHAC) works to ensure that community stakeholders have a voice to give input to the CHA Board of Trustees and management regarding community and public health issues.

CHAC meets 8-9 times a year. Its members collaborate with CHA to assess community health gaps and needs, identify community and public health priorities across the CHA service area and help CHA develop strategies for community health improvement.
